Used as a pesticide and molluscicide, particularly in agriculture to control slugs and snails in crops such as vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. It is also applied in non-crop areas like gardens and turf to manage pest mollusks. Acts as a carbamate insecticide, affecting the nervous system of target pests, leading to paralysis and death. Due to its toxicity to non-target organisms, especially birds and aquatic life, its use is restricted or regulated in many regions. Often formulated as bait or liquid spray for targeted application. Not recommended for indoor use or in areas with high water runoff due to environmental concerns.
